Happy New Year! To kick off 2026, we are rejoined by Sophie Cole (@special_education_muinteoir), for an update on her campaign to amend assault leave. Sophie's story is shocking, heartbreaking, and inspiring all in one.

If you haven't already, make sure to listen to Sophie's first episode last year, Assault in the Classroom.

Please make sure you also follow Sophie and her campaign on social media - she is doing such important work for education professionals, and for the children in their care.
